Definitions, Meaning & characteristics of Planning.
Meaning and Concept of Planning
In simple words, planning is deciding in advance what is to be done, when where, how and by
whom it is to be done. Planning bridges the gap from where we are to where we want to go. It
includes the selection of objectives, policies, procedures and programmes from among
alternatives. A plan is a predetermined course of action to achieve a specified goal. It is an
intellectual process characterized by thinking before doing. It is an attempt on the part of
manager to anticipate the future in order to achieve better performance. Planning is the primary
function of management.
Definitions of Planning
Different authors have given different definitions of planning from time to time. The main
definitions of planning are as follows:
According to Alford and Beatt, "Planning is the thinking process, the organized foresight, thevision based on fact and experience that is required for intelligent action."
According to Theo Haimann, "Planning is deciding in advance what is to be done. When amanager plans, he projects a course of action for further attempting to achieve a consistent co-ordinate structure of operations aimed at the desired results.
According to Billy E. Goetz, "Planning is fundamentally choosing and a planning problem ariseswhen an alternative course of action is discovered."
According to Koontz and O' Donnell, "Planning is an intellectual process, consciousdetermination of course of action, the basing of decision on purpose, facts and consideredestimates."
According to Allen, "A plan is a trap laid to capture the future."
Nature / Characteristics of Planning
The main characteristics or nature of planning is given below:
Planning is an Intellectual Process
Planning is an intellectual process of thinking in advance. It is a process of deciding the future on
the series of events to follow. Planning is a process where a number of steps are to be taken to
decide the future course of action. Managers or executives have to consider various courses ofaction, achieve the desired goals, go in details of the pros and cons of every course of action and
then finally decide what course of action may suit them best.
Planning Contributes to the Objectives
Planning contributes positively in attaining the objectives of the business enterprise. Since plans
are there from the very first stage of operation, the management is able to handle every problem
successfully. Plan try to set everything right. A purposeful, sound and effective planning process
knows how and when to tackle a problem. This leads to success. Objectives thus are easily
achieved.
Planning is a Primary Function of Management

2/14
Planning precedes other functions in the management process. Certainly, setting of goals to be
achieved and lines of action to be followed precedes the organization, direction, supervision and
control. No doubt, planning precedes other functions of management. It is primary requisite
before other managerial functions step in. But all functions are inter-connected. It is mixed in all
managerial functions but there too it gets precedence. It thus gets primary everywhere.
A continuous Process
Planning is a continuous process and a never ending activity of a manager in an enterprise based
upon some assumptions which may or may not come true in the future. Therefore, the manager
has to go on modifying revising and adjusting plans in the light of changing circumstances.
According to George R. Terry, "Planning is a continuous process and there is no end to it. It
involves continuous collection, evaluation and selection of data, and scientific investigation and
analysis of the possible alternative courses of action and the selection of the best alternative.
Planning Pervades Managerial Activities
From primary of planning follows pervasiveness of planning. It is the function of every
managerial personnel. The character, nature and scope of planning may change fro personnel to
personnel but the planning as an action remains intact. According to Billy E. Goetz, "Plans cannot
make an enterprise successful. Action is required, the enterprise must operate managerial
planning seeks to achieve a consistent, coordinated structure of operations focused on desired
trends. Without plans, action must become merely activity producing nothing but chaos."
Role, Significance, Importance & Advantages of Planning
An organisation without planning is like a sailboat minus its rudder. Without planning,
organisation, are subject to the winds of organizational change. Planning is one of the most
important and crucial functions of management. According to Koontz and O'Donnell, "Without
planning business becomes random in nature and decisions become meaningless and adhoc
choices." According to Geroge R. Terry, "Planning is the foundation of most successful actions of
any enterprise." Planning becomes necessary due to the following reasons:
Reduction of Uncertainty
Future is always full of uncertainties. A business organisation has to function in theseuncertainties. It can operate successfully if it is able to predict the uncertainties. Some of the
uncertainties can be predicted by undertaking systematic. Some of the uncertainties can be
predicted by undertaking systematic forecasting. Thus, planning helps in foreseeing uncertainties
which may be caused by changes in technology, fashion and taste of people, government rules
and regulations, etc.
Better Utilization of Resources
An important advantage of planning is that it makes effective and proper utilization of enterprise
resources. It identifies all such available resources and makes optimum use of these resources.
Increases Organizational Effectiveness

Planning ensures organizational effectiveness. Effectiveness ensures that the organisation is in a
position to achieve its objective due to increased efficiency of the organisation.
Reduces the Cost of Performance
Planning assists in reducing the cost of performance. It includes the selection of only one courseof action amongst the different courses of action that would yield the best results at minimum
cost. It removes hesitancy, avoids crises and chaos, eliminates false steps and protects against
improper deviations.
Concentration on Objectives
It is a basic characteristic of planning that it is related to the organizational objectives. All the
operations are planned to achieve the organizational objectives. Planning facilitates the
achievement of objectives by focusing attention on them. It requires the clear definition of
objectives so that most appropriate alternative courses of action are chosen.
Helps in Co-ordination
Good plans unify the interdepartmental activity and clearly lay down the area of freedom in the
development of various sub-plans. Various departments work in accordance with the overall
plans of the organisation. Thus, there is harmony in the organisation, and duplication of efforts
and conflict of jurisdiction are avoided.
Makes Control Effective
Planning and control are inseparable in the sense that unplanned action cannot be controlledbecause control involves keeping activities on the predetermined course by rectifying deviations
from plans. Planning helps control by furnishing standards of performance.
Encouragement to Innovation
Planning helps innovative and creative thinking among the managers because many new ideas
come to the mind of a manager when he is planning. It creates a forward-looking attitude among
the managers.
Increase in Competitive Strength
Effective planning gives a competitive edge to the enterprise over other enterprises that do not
have planning or have ineffective planning. This is because planning may involve expansion of
capacity, changes in work methods, changes in quality, anticipation of tastes and fashions of
people and technological changes etc.
Delegation is Facilitated
A good plan always facilitates delegation of authority in a better way to subordinates.
Steps involved in Planning
-

4/14
Planning is a process which embraces a number of steps to be taken. Planning is an intellectual
exercise and a conscious determination of courses of action. Therefore, it requires courses of
action. The planning process is valid for one organisation and for one plan, may not be valid for
other organizations or for all types of plans, because various factors that go into planning process
may differ from organisation to organisation or from plan to plan. For example, planning process
for a large organisation may not be the same for a small organisation. However, the major steps
involved in the planning process of a major organisation or enterprise are as follows:
Establishing objectives
The first and primary step in planning process is the establishment of planning objectives or
goals. Definite objectives, in fact, speak categorically about what is to be done, where to place the
initial emphasis and the things to be accomplished by the network of policies, procedures,
budgets and programmes, the lack of which would invariably result in either faulty or ineffective
planning.
It needs mentioning in this connection that objectives must be understandable and rational to
make planning effective. Because the major objective, in all enterprise, needs be translated into
derivative objective, accomplishment of enterprise objective needs a concrete endeavor of all the
departments.
Establishment of Planning Premises
Planning premises are assumptions about the future understanding of the expected situations.
These are the conditions under which planning activities are to be undertaken. These premises
may be internal or external. Internal premises are internal variables that affect the planning.
These include organizational polices, various resources and the ability of the organisation to
withstand the environmental pressure. External premises include all factors in task environment
like political, social technological, competitors' plans and actions, government policies, market
conditions. Both internal factors should be considered in formulating plans. At the top level
mainly external premises are considered. As one moves downward, internal premises gain
importance.
Determining Alternative Courses
The next logical step in planning is to determine and evaluate alternative courses of action. It
may be mentioned that there can hardly be any occasion when there are no alternatives. And it ismost likely that alternatives properly assessed may prove worthy and meaningful. As a matter of
fact, it is imperative that alternative courses of action must be developed before deciding upon
the exact plan.
Evaluation of Alternatives
Having sought out the available alternatives along with their strong and weak points, planners
are required to evaluate the alternatives giving due weight-age to various factors involved, for one
alternative may appear to be most profitable involving heavy cash outlay whereas the other less
profitable but involve least risk. Likewise, another course of action may be found contributing

significantly to the company's long-range objectives although immediate expectations are likely
to go unfulfilled.
Evidently, evaluation of alternative is a must to arrive at a decision. Otherwise, it would be
difficult to choose the best course of action in the perspective of company needs and resources as
well as objectives laid down.
Selecting a Course of Action
The fifth step in planning is selecting a course of action from among alternatives. In fact, it is the
point of decision-making-deciding upon the plan to be adopted for accomplishing the enterprise
objectives.
Formulating Derivative Plans
To make any planning process complete the final step is to formulate derivative plans to give
effect to and support the basic plan. For example, if Indian Airlines decide to run Jumbo Jets
between Delhi an Patna, obliviously, a number of derivative plans have to be framed to support
the decision, e.g., a staffing plan, operating plans for fuelling, maintenance, stores purchase, etc.
In other words, plans do not accomplish themselves. They require to be broken down into
supporting plans. Each manager and department of the organisation is to contribute to the
accomplishment of the master plan on the basis of the derivative plans.
Establishing Sequence of Activities
Timing an sequence of activities are determined after formulating basic and derivative plans, so
that plans may be put into action. Timing is an essential consideration in planning. It givespractical shape and concrete form to the programmes. The starting and finishing times are fixed
for each piece of work, so as to indicate when the within what time that work is to be commenced
and completed. Bad timing of programmes results in their failure. To maintain a symmetry of
performance and a smooth flow of work, the sequence of operation shaped be arranged carefully
by giving priorities to some work in preference to others. Under sequence it should be decided as
to who will don what and at what time.
Feedback or Follow-up Action
Formulating plans and chalking out of programmes are not sufficient, unless follow-up action is
provided to see that plans so prepared and programmes chalked out are being carried out in
accordance with the plan and to see whether these are not kept in cold storage. It is also required
to see whether the plan is working well in the present situation. If conditions have changed, the
plan current plan has become outdated or inoperative it should be replaced by another plan. A
regular follow-up is necessary and desirable from effective implementation and accomplishment
of tasks assigned.
The plan should be communicated to all persons concerned in the organisation. Its objectives and
course of action must be clearly defined leaving no ambiguity in the minds of those who are
responsible for its execution. Planning is effective only when the persons involved work in a team
spirit and all are committed to the objectives, policies, programmes, strategies envisaged in the
plan.

Planning (also called forethought) is the process ofthinkingabout and organizing the activities
required to achieve a desired goal.
Planning involves the creation and maintenance of aplan. As such, planning is a fundamental
property ofintelligent behavior. This thought process is essential to the creation and refinement of
aplan, or integration of it with other plans; that is, it combinesforecastingof developments with thepreparation of scenarios of how to react to them.
An important, albeit often ignored aspect of planning, is the relationship it holds
withforecasting. Forecastingcan be described as predicting what the future will look like, whereas
planning predicts what the future should look like.[1]
The counterpart to planning isspontaneous order.
Bite off more than you can chew, then chew it. Plan more than you can do, then do it.

When you establish a destination by defining what you want, then take physical action by
making choices that move you towards that destination, the possibility for success is limitless and
arrival at the destination is inevitable.

It's a funny thing, how much time we spend planning our lives. We so convince ourselves of
what wewant to do, that sometimes we don't see what we're meant to do.

I'm never going to complain about receiving free early copies of books,because clearly there's
nothing to complain about, but it does introduce a rogue element into one's otherwise carefully
plotted reading schedule. ...
Being a reader is sort of like being president, except reading involves fewer state dinners, usually.
You have this agenda you want to get through, but you get distracted by life events, e.g., booksarriving in the mail/World War III, and you are temporarly deflected from your chosen path.

You can neither lie to a neighbourhood park, nor reason with it. 'Artist's conceptions' and
persuasive renderings can put pictures of life into proposed neighbourhood parks or park malls,
and verbal rationalizations can conjure up users who ought to appreciate them, but in real life
only diverse surroundings have the practical power of inducing a natural, continuing flow of life
and use.Jane Jacobs,The Death and Life of Great American Cities
